Logitech C310 Webcam

Logitech C310 Webcam offers a cheap upgrade over your laptop’s camera, but it’s difficult to balance on a monitor and doesn’t have a great microphone.

Design

It’s a webcam’s job to look at you, but the C310 feels a bit like it’s gawking. Unlike some of Logitech’s other cameras, the 2.7-inch-wide camera juts out in front of the bezel on your monitor or laptop display. The front of the camera is a gunmetal-gray oval, while the back and securing arm are both black.

Unfortunately, the C310’s mounting mechanism is less effective than the ones that keep other webcams, such as the Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920, in place. The webcam features a hinge with a plastic arm to hold it on top of a screen. After a bit of fiddling, I got it tight on my laptop, but my external monitors, which have rounded backs, proved to be a challenge. The C920 has a third part, a rubber foot, that held it tightly against every monitor I tried it on. The top of the monitor is the only place you’ll keep this camera. Unlike the C920 and some other webcams, the C310 doesn’t have a mount for tripods.
The C310 is fine for some Skyping with friends,

Software

Logitech’s bundled Webcam Software lets you take precise control of the C310. Users can zoom in and pan in every direction to set up the frame however they so choose. The app also includes a motion detector, so you can set up the webcam as a security camera. Additionally, it allows you to snap photos and record videos directly to your hard drive if you don’t have a separate camera app.
